You really shouldn't have

By ParentsSleepingOnMyCouch - 13/02/2024 00:00 - United States - Renton

Today, I was awakened by knocking on my door, only to find my parents standing there. Turns out, they booked two one-way tickets to visit me from another country. Their plan? I should scrap my upcoming 2-week vacation to hang out because they invested in this trip. Oh, and they didn't book a hotel. I'm 31. FML

I would have told them to book a hotel and enjoy themselves, to call ahead next time as respectful adults, then shut the door on them. I can see why you moved far away from them. If you don't want them there, tell them to leave.

while they are your parents, they should have given you notice. how long are they staying? if it's a while, then still go on vacation. you'll still have plenty of time to spend with them around it.

Scrap it, and treasure this time with your parents. I would give anything for one more afternoon drinking beer and watching NASCAR with my Dad, but he died last March. You DESERVE time with your parents.

And if said vacation is NON-REFUNDABLE? Are you willing to pay them the matching costs for this, to hang out with their entitled, no-call-beforehand parents?
